Strengths: Pitching
Weaknesses: Power hitting, NO depth

I have Wolters and Mukada on the MLB team because it told me to bring them up, and the AI is usually right on those. Plus they're old enough, they need a little pushing.

I honestly have no idea how this team will do, hence Mystery Men. I expect the pitching to be good, I've really focused on that recently. Braun had a mystery talent hit, I didn't even notice it until now. Maybe Nick might want to look at it, but I'm not gonna complain about it. I never saw it on the player development page, and it's not there this year. O well.

Anybody have any ideas how they think this team will do?

LAWL at the 14 million dollar bench man Herreros. Meanwhile, the AL Cy and AL MVP are making a combined 17 mil (5 for price, 12 for Hanley).

Gimme Torkelson... I want him back lol

He'll be great once he gets to his power actuals. But until then he is on the bench. Especially with the way he hit last year

[General]

HE WILL BE GREAT GF proclaims.

Great like Pedro Liriano? Maybe great like Enthrails Davis?

[Kingdom]

Wrong league for Liriano.

[General]

But you know what I mean.

[Kingdom]

Wasn't he good though?

[General]

Not for me. 10-9-8 and an era of 5.50 and something like 5.43? **** that.

[Providence A's]

Not for me. 10-9-8 and an era of 5.50 and something like 5.43? **** that.

AKA Brandon McCarthy before his talent loss.

and I'm just curious GF, how are you so confident in the pitching? you were last year, too and that didn't exactly work out. Anderson and Joba were pretty much busts as predicted by everyone else. I mean, you've got some guys with good ratings, but not so good track records in this league.

[nick]

Just an FYI-- Braun lost talent before the roll-over, during the playoffs I'm pretty sure. It was in Oct. I could check the file from last season to find whatever he actually lost if you'd like. I think it was contact and something else, but I don't remember what the something else was.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

It was contact, and nothing else looks like it's been taken down. Maybe it was power, but doesn't show cuz it's still in the 10's? Idk. I thought I checked after every sim. That's kind of annoying. But whatevs.

And Prov, I'm not confident in my pitching at all because of what happened last year. But like I said, I have no idea what could happen this season. The pitching actually showed flashes of brilliance. Anderson started off great, Lotzkar had a very good season before blowing up at the very end, and Joba got better after a horrible start. So I know they're all capable of it. It's just a matter of consistency.

I took it as confidence because you listed pitching as the team strength. as I said, you've got some guys with great ratings...but not so great track records. you never know, but players like that piss me off (AKA Brandon McCarthy, RIP you prick).

[Kingdom]

Fortunately, PA never paid McCarthy 13 or 14 million to be a douchebag.
